Funded Activity Summary

This proposal will assist in improving human health, quality of life and patient lifespan. Head and Neck cancer is of high prevalence in Australia and China. Cancer patients, often with metastasis to adjacent and distant organs, including bone at late stages of the disease, suffer from pain, facial nerve paralysis, recurrence and frequently die under very distressing circumstances. This proposal intends to elucidate the molecular mechanism of Head and Neck cancer and help come up with better treatments against cancers including providing a new target for cancer gene therapy.
